San Antonio illustrator John Picacio, author Leigh Bardugo release kids’ book exploring grief, Día de los Muertos
The new children’s book The Invisible Parade brings together two luminaries of science fiction and fantasy: San Antonio-based illustrator John Picacio, who’s won both the World Fantasy and Hugo Awards, and bestselling author Leigh Bardugo, the LA-based author of the Grishaverse novels. Released by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, The Invisible Parade follows a girl named Cala who isn’t eager to participate in her family’s Día de los Muertos celebrations because she’s still too pained by the loss of her grandfather.
